It is hubud.

Also, where did you learn to count? 1986-2004 != 25 years

(Hubai is what we pronounce it as. Maybe it spelled differently in different schools????)

Where did you learn to READ?
First off before you make smart ass remarks I started WING CHUN in 1986!
I was in other martial arts BEFORE wing chun. If you actually READ my post I said I was in "MARTIAL ARTS" for aprox. 25 years. I NEVER said I was in Wing Chun for 25 years. Theres a difference.

I interpreted your posts as you wrote them. You didn't say you started wing chun in a certain year, you said you 'originally started'. I understand what you meant now.

Hope I'm not taking this thread away from more important matters, but I know some people would like to see some different examples of wing chun in videos. My school's website is www.moyyat.net and under the 'media' category there are some examples of chi sao, techniques, and other assorted goodness. Please post any thoughts or comments.

"It does not matter who the master is. It does not matter what the face looks like. The masters are of the Qimen school of qigong/meditation which is related to Zen. The master wears white robes, and the predecessor master wears bright gold robes. The qimen school travels the univers and is not restricted to what paradise they live in. It has many masters" -Serious Harm

Oh yeah, as far as what part of the fist to hit with, my sifu told me in one of my first classes that we train to hit with the bottom three knuckles, but that as you progress you hit with the bottom two and eventually with the pinky knuckle only if possible. My sigung(grandteacher) has told me the same thing. If you have any questions or concerns with that I suggest you try the variations on someone and ask them which hurts more. If you don't train the vertical punch regularly please be careful because you can tweak your wrist.

hmm. . .interesting. I thought of a few reasons for the variations, though I've not seen them used by the few wc practicioners I know. Gotta ask them.
Awwright, you posted vid links, too.
